The Joy of x: A Guided Tour of Math, from One to Infinity by Steven Strogatz
5.0
I used to enjoy math during my school years, but over time, I lost interest. Despite this, I've always desired to understand it more deeply. When I discovered this book, I immediately borrowed it from my library.
The author, Steven Strogatz, is a math scholar who wrote this book for people looking to reignite their passion for math. The content is divided into six simple parts: numbers, relations between numbers, geometry, calculus, statistics, and other fascinating math concepts.
Despite being a seasoned math scholar, Strogatz has a knack for explaining complex concepts in simple, relatable terms, often using humorous examples. The book is structured into bite-sized chapters, making it easy to read and digest.
This book presents a fresh perspective on various mathematical concepts, making them memorable. Topics like the relationship between odd and even numbers, triangles, circles, and the Pythagorean theorem have taken on new meaning for me. The author even demystifies the basics of calculus and its real-world applications.
Whether you love math or not, this book will rekindle your appreciation for it.
